Leap Second Lovers are Traitors Says Bill O’Reilly

[Ernesto]

And my fundy father n law actually listens to this nut!........
“This year’s leap second is an assault on the American public,” says commentator Bill O’Reilly. “The reason the leap second is even being proposed is because of America Haters, because of Iraqi hate mongers, and let’s be honest, Shiites. Why would you add a second to the year unless you’re an anti-American hate monger?
I remember liberals at a party saying, ‘let’s add a second to the year’ and I was the only one who spoke up against it. Why would they want to add a second to the year? Because it gives them a second longer to hate Bush.

4. Steve Martin!

Someone commented:
"I knew it was a liberal plot! The godless liberals have launched a war on the 60-second minute. It's an abomination! Every time a liberal says "Wait a second" it's like they're saying "Long live the terrorists!" When will the madness stop?!?!"

7. I liked the one

"I nominate Steve Martin for the Bill O'Reilly enemies list. Can I get a second?"

I wish they would note that this is satire. These days you can never be quite sure.

12. True, you cannot tell. I thought it was real until I looked at it.

I hope Steve was wearing his arrow-thru-the-headpiece
as he wrote this. I'll bet he is a riot to drink with.

[bbernardini]

5. Just look at who wrote the entry.

Satire.

9. Truth is Stranger

While this piece may be satire it wouldn't have surprised me in the least if O'Reilly really did think it was anti-american.

Why the US wants to end link between time and sun

Time to change the way we measure time, according to a U.S. government proposal that businesses favor, astronomers abominate and Britain sees as a threat to its venerable standard, Greenwich Mean Time.

Word of the U.S. proposal, made secretly to a United Nations body, began leaking to scientists earlier this month. The plan would simplify the world's timekeeping by making each day last exactly 24 hours. Right now, that's not always the case.

Because the moon's gravity has been slowing down the Earth, it takes slightly longer than 24 hours for the world to rotate completely on its axis. The difference is tiny, but every few years a group that helps regulate global timekeeping, the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, tells governments, telecom companies, satellite operators and others to add in an extra second to all clocks to keep them in sync. The adjustment is made on New Year's Eve or the last day of June.

10. O'Reilly is an entertainer; no more, no less

Why would anyone care what some Entertainment Tonight has-been thinks? Or was it Current Affair? I never could keep those mindless dribble shows straight. Anyways, he's a Rush-wannabe, giving the masses what he thinks they want.

11. My grandma loves O'Reilly -- & she hates republicans

14. When I was a kid and they first adopted daylight savings time

we had a crazy neighbor with a bumper sticker that said

"LEAVE GOD'S TIME ALONE"

My dad used to laugh and say "And on the 8th day, God created clocks."

[graywarrior]

15. He has become McCarthy.

[sakabatou]

[johnaries]

17. I DARE you to post this on Freeperville!

[progressivebydesign]

18. Was this on the Onion? For real? Naw.. satire.
